So this is an updated version of a guide I wrote a long time ago.
We'll basically see a way to get daily/weekly/monthly shout outs from big niche relevant influencers in most niches.
It's stupidly simple, so simple that I'm really not sure why it wasn't abused yet. I do it myself for every single project I have, and for some of my clients.
It's great for branding purposes (getting your name out there in front of your target audience) as well as for user (or client) acquisition and building connections.
I'm basically using Patreon to look up social media influencers in my niche (or that are targeting the same audience as I am) with a shoutout option in a cost effective price/engagement ratio.
I then buy the membership that grants me a shoutout, *and* I'm also supperchatting their streams every once in a while.
The superchats are important, don't skip those. They're important because the influencers are going to remember your name from being their Patreon, so they're more likely to engage with your superchat message for longer than others, keeping your message and business name on the screen for a long time as well and say a nice work about you.
And here's the kicker:
I opened a Patreon and named myself by the name of my site (for example, if OO were to do this, they should call the Patreon account OfficeOutlaw.com) so every time the influencers shout their supporters, you get people coming to your site, you get your brand name searches up, and being mentioned by a respected person in the niche.
Another cool thing is that as soon as you start supporting someone on Patreon, you can send them a message, and they are very likely to respond. So, you can easily pitch your collaboration or sponsorship offer without it being ignored or lost in a sea of other offers they get via email.
According to Patreon's support team, you are allowed to have as many Patreon accounts as you wish, and you know how easy it is to open another YouTube or Twitch accounts. This means that you can technically do it with every one of your projects and don't really need to prioritize.
